Syphon Filter is a Third-Person Shooter and Stealth-Based Game series that started in 1999 and was developed by Eidetic (later known as Sony Bend) focusing on the adventures of Gabriel "Gabe" Logan, who begins the story as an agency operative, until turning rogue, and eventually after exposing the misdeeds of said agency, forms his own, known as the International Presidential Consulting Agency (IPCA). Syphon Filter itself is a fatal virus, akin to FOXDIE, which can be made to target specific ethnicities. Throughout the first four games, the objective is trying to stop its distribution.There are six games in the series: | |

Artistic License – Linguistics | |
Syphon Filter (Video Game) / int_12f078f3 | comment |
Artistic License – Linguistics: If Mara Aramov is really a Russian, her last name should actually be "Aramova", because Russian surnames have both masculine and feminine forms. This series treats Lian Xing's name as similar to common Western name—Lian being her given name and Xing being her surname—starting from '1' to Dark Mirror. Gabe even refers to her as "Xing" in his Afghanistan level in 3 and only starts calling her "Lian" when the two get closer. However, a former assassin trainer named Trinidad in Logan's Shadows reveals that Lian Xing is her maiden name—Lian being her maiden surname and Xing being her given name. Since she has married a scientist named Shen Rei and their marriage is legally still intact, she should be called Shen Xing. | |

This series was never idealistic to begin with, but definitely got Darker and Edgier as the series progressed. The storyline combines the plots of The Bourne Series with Mission: Impossible with betrayal and being too late to save the day combined. | |

All There in the Manual: Subverted. The game's cutscenes and briefings tells the player everything they need to know to finish the game, but a lot of additional details about the background plot, such as how Rhoemer could afford to buy a missile silo area from Kazakh's government, why Rhoemer picked Washington Park as his main viral bombing target, and how Earl Oakton became the founder of the FIST militia group in Montana are only told in Player Versus Player stage briefings. | |

Violation of Common Sense | |
Syphon Filter (Video Game) / int_1b2b1d2c | comment |
Violation of Common Sense: While it is suggested to be stealthy in "Rhoemer's Base" level, it is not mandatory. Apparently, alerting the base on purpose by using loud weapons is favorite tactic for Speedrun players, as stealth requires patience and speedrun players would want to finish the game as soon as possible, even if it means getting ambushed multiple times and taking significant damage. Also related to speedruns, many players chose to make Gabe strafing diagonally and shoot at the chopper in "Base Tower" in a faster pace instead of taking cover behind the tower's radar and shoot at the chopper only after it flies past Gabe. They don't mind taking damage especially since there are two crates containing flak jacket in this boss level. | |

Unwinnable by Design: While it's certainly possible to finish The Omega Strain, if you want to get all the weapons, all the ranks, and get the best ending, you need to play the game both off-line, and online to complete certain objectives and criteria (such as completing team-based objectives you can't get in single-player mode). However, with the online servers now shut down, it's impossible to fully complete the game and unlock all the goodies unless you download a fully-completed save online. | |

Nigh-Invulnerability: Girdeux is wearing full body armor and can only be defeated by attacking the tank for his flamethrower. Rhoemer is supposedly wearing invulnerable armor and can only be killed with a gas grenade, even though he is obviously not wearing a helmet. The final boss, Chance of part 2, wears explosive resistant armor. And it doesn't seem to weigh them down. | |

Awesome, but Impractical: The Air Taser can fire as far as the render distance lets you, and kill virtually anyone not armored (unless you get a headshot on unprotected noggins) with a couple seconds of electrocution (or set them ablaze if done longer), making it an ammo-free way of wiping enemies off the grid. It also completely leaves you exposed and vulnerable while using it, and might clip into a wall and cut itself short before a target's down; in any situation that doesn't grant a clear shot on only one foe, it's almost invariably going to get you killed or waste your time. | |

Your Princess Is in Another Castle!: Gabe's mission from the beginning of the game is to eliminate Rhoemer. However, Rhoemer has a lot of expendable mooks to stall Gabe and he is rather good at covering his tracks. Gabe would not encounter Rhoemer until the last level of the game. The data discs are the main MacGuffin from the second game. Retrieving them is the objective of the first disc. When they are retrieved, their data is incomplete which causes Gabe and friends to search for more. | |

SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism | |
Syphon Filter (Video Game) / int_3ac583f4 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism: This series was never idealistic to begin with, but definitely got Darker and Edgier as the series progressed. The storyline combines the plots of The Bourne Series with Mission: Impossible with betrayal and being too late to save the day combined. Gabe was more or less an idealist when he was still in the US Army Rangers and managed to keep much of his idealistic attitude when he first joined the Agency. Slowly, his idealistic attitude crumbled after realizing that his organization was in cahoots with a terrorist ring. The whole Colorado incident was the final straw, Gabe stopped being a "loyal agent" and admitted that he was turning into a "tired, angry fugitive whose partnernote Lian Xing is dying". He managed to regain some of his idealistic views of the world after he founded IPCA with his comrades, but his deep cynical scars remained until the day he died. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Part 1: Gabe kills Rhoemer and saves the world, but Lian is infected with Syphon Filter and both are left out in the cold. In 2, the Agency's leaders are dead and their conspiracy is exposed, but there are others who still want to possess Syphon Filter. Also, Teresa "dies". Logan's Shadow: Gabe foils al-Jamil's plot, only to be killed by Trinidad. | |

What Measure Is a Mook? | |
Syphon Filter (Video Game) / int_52b36340 | comment |
What Measure Is a Mook?: Before the final boss fight in 2, Gabe and Chance will engage in a circling monologue in which Chance calls Gabe out for killing hundreds of agents who were just doing their job. In Paradise Ridge, a militia member armed with a shotgun tries to flank two "FBI" operatives all by himself to save his friends Billy and Randy who are taken captive by the said "FBI". Likewise, some of the "FBI" operatives try their hardest to kill Teresa for killing "Agent Benny". Their status as expendable enemies doesn't change the fact that they are human beings with friends and families who truly care for each other. This is invoked by Gary "Stone" Stoneman after the first bonus mission in The Omega Strain. | |

While it is suggested to be stealthy in "Rhoemer's Base" level, it is not mandatory. Apparently, alerting the base on purpose by using loud weapons is favorite tactic for Speedrun players, as stealth requires patience and speedrun players would want to finish the game as soon as possible, even if it means getting ambushed multiple times and taking significant damage. | |

Syphon Filter (Video Game) / int_62259825 | comment |
Nintendo Hard: Most of the games are fairly tough, but 2 in particular is brutal. In the first three games, there is a code that will unlock the Hard difficulty. In The Omega Strain, every level can be nightmarishly difficult: to unlock the best guns, abilities, and ranks, the player has to complete all the objectives on every mission while on a time limit. To do this requires memorizing when and where everything happens, and praying that they don't get screwed by soldiers who magically appear out of thin air, extremely weak people you have to escort, or a completely random glitch. With very little margin for error, players should expect to replay almost every level several times, or in some of the tougher ones, dozens of times. | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation | |
Syphon Filter (Video Game) / int_6320eced | comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation: Syphon Filter 2, Mission 9: You're not allowed to kill U.S. Army regulars because they are innocent bystanders. BUT the area to the left of the Aztec Exhibit where you plant a C4 Explosive to create a diversion has two Army regulars there that you have to incapacitate. Since you can't move their bodies to a safer area, it's assumed in the cutscene for Mission 10 that they weren't killed. Either because "no one was there" or "they're impervious to explosions". In the third mission of the first game, Gabe has to stop Mara Aramov. Unlike the sequels, the first game lacks any kind of non-lethal weaponry, so using regular guns is necessary. Canonically she survives with Just a Flesh Wound, even if you shot her in the head during the actual game. | |

Breather Episode | |
Syphon Filter (Video Game) / int_80a247a9 | comment |
Breather Episode: "Expo Center Dinorama" has several mooks wearing bulletproof vests, but its straight-forward objectives make the level considerably easier than the previous level "Expo Center Reception" that requires a lot of backtracking due to its confusing map design and "Rhoemer's Base", the level after Dinorama which punishes the player harshly with infinitely respawning mooks for failing to be stealthy. After the intense firefights of the previous missions, the "Tunnel Blackout" mission lets Gabe shoot a bunch of clueless mooks who are standing around the dark before the final level. Note that all mooks are still equipped with bulletproof vests and advanced weaponry, so you don't want Gabe activating his flashlight at the wrong place and the wrong time. | |

Shooting the friendly CBDC agents in the first level of the first game results in either them angrily telling you to check your fire or a Mission parameter failed if you kill them. However, if you're not the one who killed them but still shoot their dead body, the rest of the CBDC agents will fire at you on sight for the rest of the level. | |

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness | |
Syphon Filter (Video Game) / int_928ca2cc | comment |
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Phagan is the walking, talking example of this trope. He is eventually killed by Aramov once he gives the information she needs. In part 2, Phagan is kept on life support by the Agency. They pull the plug once his plasma is extracted. One of the pilots who shot down Logan's plane is killed by Morgan for this reason. Gershon the lab tech from the Agency Bio Lab mission is doomed no matter what. The player can kill him once he gets him inside the computer lab (he gets killed automatically on Hard Mode). If his life is spared, he will be killed by agents who storm the lab. | |

Men Are the Expendable Gender | |
Syphon Filter (Video Game) / int_974b47a7 | comment |
Men Are the Expendable Gender: Downplayed. In 1, all enemy mooks are male but Mara, the boss character of the third level is a female. She must be defeated to progress to the next level. In 2, Lian as a playable character can die just like Gabe, and Teresa is scripted to be shot by the Final Boss. Interestingly enough, "Aljir Prison Break-in" is a stealth-base level which has female prison guards who are armed with .45 colt and will open fire if Lian gets spotted. But in "Aljir Prison Escape" in which Lian does not bother with stealth anymore and prepares herself for direct gunfights, the female prison guards mysteriously vanish from the game without any explanation, as if the game refuses to allow Lian killing female mooks. In 3, If Gabe fails to protect his female comrade such as Maggie Powers or Lian Xing, they can die. Lian and Teresa as playable characters can also die if they take too much damage. Mara also makes her return as a boss that must be defeated. | |

Heel–Face Revolving Door | |
Syphon Filter (Video Game) / int_97522514 | comment |
Heel–Face Revolving Door: Mara, sort of, in the first couple games. In one mission, you're chasing her through a subway tunnel. Later, she's helping to air drop you into the very definitely final dungeon. In 3, she was shot in the head by Gabe since she was part of the evil plan instigators. However, in the ending, it is revealed that she survived. She would appear in The Omega Strain. In The Omega Strain, it is implied that she was killed by Gary "Stone" Stoneman. This was confirmed in Dark Mirror. Dr. Elsa Weissinger, who starts as antagonist in 2, while a flashback in 3 shows her as an ally. The Omega Strain had her as an ally, before she swaps back to the antagonist side. A part of The Omega Strain's ending has her state via note that she enjoys destroying anything she creates, so this could be justified. | |

Whole Episode Flashback | |
Syphon Filter (Video Game) / int_9d6e002e | comment |
The initial cutscene of the first game and its playable Whole Episode Flashback in the third game take place in Guacimo, Costa Rica. The latter then continues on the ruins of an Aztec temple repurposed by the Big Bad as a laboratory. The problem? Aztec civilization settled in central Mexico, not in Costa Rica. Probably a mistake by the developers conflating different Mesoamerican cultures into a single entity. | |

If Teresa refuses to leave and decides to make sure the interrogation process "does not violate the law", the "FBI" operatives will execute the captives and immediately kill her. | |

Syphon Filter (Video Game) / int_c36cba70 | comment |
In the first game, enemies in the first few levels are very poor shooters, they take awhile to fill up your danger meter. These mooks get harder each set of levels. "Hard difficulty" makes it so even the first level mooks are as accurate as the enemies in the last few levels. | |

Harder Than Hard | |
Syphon Filter (Video Game) / int_c513249 | comment |
Harder Than Hard: The original PlayStation trilogy has "Hard difficulty" via a set of inputs. They change the behavior of the enemies in each game. As if the game wasn't hard enough, this difficulty will seriously test your patience and knowledge of the levels: In the first game, enemies in the first few levels are very poor shooters, they take awhile to fill up your danger meter. These mooks get harder each set of levels. "Hard difficulty" makes it so even the first level mooks are as accurate as the enemies in the last few levels. The second game ups the ante with changes in specific maps, first person-aiming mode is always a few pixels off where it's supposed to be, no headshot indicator and shorter patrol routes in stealth missions. The most apparent ones listed are: In the first level, mooks parachute down faster and spawn more often. On the second part of the train ride mission, you have much less time to make it to the end of the level. On the level to retrieve the data discs, every single enemy will aim for your head. Third game doesn't change much aside from enemies acquiring you much quicker in earlier levels. | |

Shout-Out: The base level is quite clearly a Shout Out to Metal Gear Solid's Shadow Moses Island. The enemies even dress alike. After Gabe saves the hostage in the first mission of 3, he says "Come with me if you want to live". One of the Military Police's taunts in 2 Player Vs Player mode is "You fought the law, and the law won!", a reference to a Bobby Fuller's song made famous by The Clash. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
Syphon Filter (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: The PS 1 trilogy has a Danger bar which shows how close the protagonist is from getting damaged by the enemies. When the Danger bar appears, the player can choose to either strike back or run. As the player progresses further in the game, the enemies become more skillful and the Danger bar fills quicker than in early levels. This is a slight issue, however, in "Base Tower" boss level in which Gabe has to shoot down Rhoemer's chopper, because the Danger bar immediately fills up even when Gabe hides himself out of the chopper's line of fire. Starting from 2, enemies can aim for head shots, and if they are successful, it means instant death. Fortunately, the game provides three warnings when someone is currently aiming for your head; a cross-hair note saying "head shot" near your character's head, the Danger bar fills up automatically, and the radar blinking in red. The game usually will l let the player pick up items from a crate only once. If the crate has been opened, the item inside would be obtained and the crate would be emptied. In the "Finale" boss fight.of 2, one of two crates contains UAS-12 shotgun that can always be obtained even after it was opened for the first time, because according to the game's script, the final boss can only be killed with UAS-12. | |

Artistic License – Geography | |
Syphon Filter (Video Game) / int_e9f517e1 | comment |
Artistic License – Geography: Rhoemer's Base level from the first game was supposed to be located in Rozovka, Kazakhstan. In reality, Rozovka (also spelled as Rozivka) is a rural settlement located in Ukraine. In Pugari levels from 3 which takes place in the "Mpumalanga Province, South Africa," in 1984, this region was actually called "Eastern Transvaal", and was renamed into "Mpumalanga" in 1995 after the fall of apartheid causing the restructuring of South Africa's provinces. "Convoy" level from 3 which takes place in 1987 during Soviet-Afghan war shows Gabe raiding an Afghan rebel fortress that has the green-white-black tricolor Afghan flag with the gold Shahadah logo hanging on a wall. This flag was not adopted until 1992, when the communist regime collapsed. The initial cutscene of the first game and its playable Whole Episode Flashback in the third game take place in Guacimo, Costa Rica. The latter then continues on the ruins of an Aztec temple repurposed by the Big Bad as a laboratory. The problem? Aztec civilization settled in central Mexico, not in Costa Rica. Probably a mistake by the developers conflating different Mesoamerican cultures into a single entity. | |

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished | |
Syphon Filter (Video Game) / int_eb8f64a6 | comment |
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: The New York Slums level in 2 has Gabe helping a SWAT officer rescue her partner. Once that's done, she apologizes to Gabe by telling him that she's still under orders to arrest him so he runs away. If you run back to her, she'll shoot you on sight. The New York Sewers of the same game, if Gabe tries to let Stevens speak his mind instead of killing him outright, it will result in Stevens killing Teresa Lipan (and of course, mission failure). In Paradise Ridge, Teresa will see two "FBI" operatives escorting two captured militia members. These "FBI" men will warn Teresa to leave the area as they will "interrogate" their captives. If Teresa refuses to leave and decides to make sure the interrogation process "does not violate the law", the "FBI" operatives will execute the captives and immediately kill her. Other than Paradise Ridge, 3 managed to avert this: In Hotel Fukushima, if Gabe saves the JRA member who had been tortured by Shi Hao's goon, that person will give Gabe an MIL-15, arguably the most powerful weapon in the original trilogy. Reckless usage of this weapon can cause accidental deaths and mission failure, though. In Costa Rican Plantation, if Gabe saves two slaves from physical abuse and kills the abuser, it will unlock Rhoemer's Labs for Player Versus Player mode. In C-5 Galaxy Transport, if Gabe refrains from killing both the pilot and'' the co-pilot, it will unlock Rhoemer's Computer Center for Player Versus Player mode. Depending on luck factor, Gabe may or may not take some damage in his attempt of opening the exit door without killing anyone in the cockpit. In Pugari Complex, if Mujari refrains from killing Jones (an unarmed foreman who chose to surrender) after interrogating him, it will unlock Colorado Bridge for the Mini Game missions. In S.S. Lorelei, if Gabe finishes the mission without harming the ship engineer and the cook, it will unlock S.S. Lorelei for Player Versus Player mode. In Militia Compound, if Teresa saves as many militia members as she can, it will unlock Ismailivo Park for Player Versus Player mode. | |

Took a Level in Cynic | |
Syphon Filter (Video Game) / int_f49ba6ee | comment |
Gabe was more or less an idealist when he was still in the US Army Rangers and managed to keep much of his idealistic attitude when he first joined the Agency. Slowly, his idealistic attitude crumbled after realizing that his organization was in cahoots with a terrorist ring. The whole Colorado incident was the final straw, Gabe stopped being a "loyal agent" and admitted that he was turning into a "tired, angry fugitive whose partnernote Lian Xing is dying". He managed to regain some of his idealistic views of the world after he founded IPCA with his comrades, but his deep cynical scars remained until the day he died. | |

No-Gear Level | |
Syphon Filter (Video Game) / int_f7d66b6f | comment |
No-Gear Level: In 2, The McKenzie Airbase Interior and the Agency Bio-Labs levels. The latter one is probably one of the most difficult levels of the game. The Senate Building in part 3 has Gabe only having a pistol but no body armor while everybody else have armor and carry uzis. | |

The Very Definitely Final Dungeon | |
Syphon Filter (Video Game) / int_f821e963 | comment |
Mara, sort of, in the first couple games. In one mission, you're chasing her through a subway tunnel. Later, she's helping to air drop you into the very definitely final dungeon. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
Syphon Filter (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: The air taser in the first game delivers fairly horrific deaths to those unfortunate enough to be struck with it. And they scream the whole time. And burst into flames. Also, you have this weapon from the start, it never runs out of charge, and it's considered a silent weapon, making it one of the most useful things you carry. There's the M-90 Grenade Launcher, which for some bizarre reason, still informs you of when you line up a headshot in first-person aiming mode. Not that you need it since it's Exactly What It Says on the Tin. Tired of lugging Imani's corpse around? At the end of the level, just dump it in the filthy jungle river, and leave it to rot! In the uncensored US version of Dark Mirror, the player can kill enemies in several creative ways such as squishing them via a centrifuge. The censored EU version simply removed the enemies in that part of the level. | |

Right-Wing Militia Fanatic | |
Syphon Filter (Video Game) / int_f98356f | comment |
Right-Wing Militia Fanatic: Averted. Teresa recounts how she, as an ATF sniper, came to assist FBI agents against a militia. It turned out that the FBI agents were actually rogue NSA agents. They were killing everybody (militia or otherwise) in order to get their hands on a satellite data that was in the militia's compound. This incident is where she first met Gabe. | |

Series Fauxnale: The ending implies that things have gotten so crazy that the true extent of the Agency's agenda will never be known, until the sequel. | |

Video Game Cruelty Punishment | |
Syphon Filter (Video Game) / int_fcd993bd | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Punishment: Killing Jones, a foreman who has no weapon and surrenders himself immediately after Mujari is done interrogating him, in Pugari Complex will result in a truck mysteriously trying to ram Mujari shortly afterwards. If Mujari manages to survive that, many guards who are alerted by the explosion will surround the place, making an unnecessary gunfight inevitable. Also, there will be no new level unlocked. Shooting the friendly CBDC agents in the first level of the first game results in either them angrily telling you to check your fire or a Mission parameter failed if you kill them. However, if you're not the one who killed them but still shoot their dead body, the rest of the CBDC agents will fire at you on sight for the rest of the level. The child character Blake can be killed by the player in the uncensored US version Dark Mirror, which results in mission failure, but she is simply invincible in the EU version. | |

Shown Their Work: Aljir Prison from Syphon Filter 2 is based on a real life place named ALZhIR, the Akmolinsk Camp of Wives of Traitors to the Motherland (Russian: �кмолин�кий лагерь жён изменников Родины (�. Л. Ж. И. Р.)), a "women's gulag" which imprisoned approximately 8000 people including the wives of statesmen, politicians and public figures in the then Soviet Union. The survivalist militia from Syphon Filter 3 is based on the real life organization Militia of Montana. Likewise, the Paradise Ridge Incident is based on real life events such as The Ruby Ridge Standoff and The Waco Siege. | |
